``Brodjani``at Wednesday live in Eforie celebration of the arrival of the silver national team player Mario Mandzukic, who Brodjanin Slavonski Brod not forgotten wherever they went, they showed and for the World Cup, as well as for several hours passing the streets of Zagreb on a spectacular welcome Croatian players. He Mandžo any moment separated from the Croatian flag that says Slavonski Brod, the name of the town where he made football steps in what was, at one time, was willing to leave large, and given to the indoor soccer.

- He started playing in the ship Marsonija to the half-season was sent to our Zeljeznicar. From this period there is one anecdote when the two city soccer teams played a friendly. The winner is the desire and Mandžo is 'broke' Marson who wanted him right back in their ranks, but even then it was performed registration so that the half-season he had to play in the desire to end - witness Sime Buzov, alpha and omega slavonskobrodskog Zeljeznicar, that is, as he says, played a significant role in the football the way young

Mario Mandzukic.

And 2004, when with less than 17 years Mario, as a player Marsonija, loaned played in the city niželigaša Zeljeznicar, his father Mato asked his friend to help them in the transfer.

- I'm tied up with Hajduk and it was logical that we try to send to the south. For Mata was not interested as Hajduk Hajduk, but the future of his son. To my chagrin, Hajduk it would not look - told the SBplus Sime Buzov, stressing that the whole story importantly how Mario became not only an excellent footballer who steals sighs their football moves

but has become and remains primarily a man.

And he was, to say the least, cheeky during his football growing up. He did not want to play quarterback, but little threat, a more realistic assessment of the trainer Basara broke in credits.- He knew he play one game, then another and then a third will not. Then the father Mate bumps from the stands, and Mario over the fence playground escape. At one point he even wanted to leave the big football and he is even a little train-side football, but fortunately there was a turning point because that today Slavonski Brod can proudly say that the players admire and who glory in the world - says Sime, remembering how Mario on training in the settlements Mikrorajon to Željinog Stadium came to an old pony bike. He drove then Mario ramp in Osijek-Baranja (in place of the current underpass), and how the bike did not have wings, when it rained, the stadium would come from the line of mud across the back. When they stole the pony, very quickly got a new one.

 We bought him a new order to come to training in Desire. It was a time when I paid him a scholarship of 1,250 kuna, the then 250 marks. He did not care of it saw nothing. All this seat on the account, and of these the money, which are admittedly sat regularly, lived the whole family. Father Mato received occasional funding to train the pioneers in the Desire, but I am delighted that Mario never forgot where he came from and how it ended. And all of us coming back - story Buzov remembering how the turning point in the football life Mario Mandzukic took place in 2005.- I was at one time called the Mile Petkovic, coach of NK Zagreb and begged me to put him through with Mario Mandzukic. I said I could, but not without his father. I brought Mila Petkovic and manager Ivana Cvjetković. With Mario and his father went to Vinkovci where he was g. Medic, president of Dinamo Zagreb. And Mario Mandzukic is in Vinkovicma signed that goes from Slavonski Brod to Zagreb. Another way history is that we all know and because of that will be today Brođani gather on the Corso in order to thank him - witness Sime Buzov proud of each Mariovo success. They met in Moscow and says, pulled each other's arms due to realized historic sucess.

- Thanks to Mario Mandzukic our desire to survive the last ten years, because it is not that part of the funding we receive from the contract difficult to survive. Thank Him for us to always remember, you did not forget where he came from and what is above all a humble and self-effacing man. I guess all those playfulness and rebelliousness of youth should be to grow to what it is today. Great players and even bigger man - said Buzov, who will today meet with Mary.
